Melling Christmas Celebration

Melling Parish Council was delighted to provide a donation towards Melling Baptist Christmas Celebration in aid of the James Apter Friendship Fund.

The celebration took place on Friday 5th December at the Horse and Jockey Pub and raised over £400 for the James Apter Friendship Fund to provide gifts and toys for the children who receive medical treatments on the Cystic Fibrosis and Oncology Wards at Alder Hey Children's Hospital. The event was a huge success and really got people in the festive mood with carols from the Melling Primary School Gospel Choir and the Melling Community Gospel Choir, traditional Christmas music played by a wind quartet and Father Christmas greeted the children with a gift plus stalls selling delights such as homemade chocolates.
